About the Role

We’re very proud of our customer loyalty and our rapid growth. Concurrent with this growth is the need to scale our platform, expand the surface area of integrations, deliver high-quality and timely features, and generally contend with an increasingly complex technical ecosystem. We’re looking for a Senior Backend Software Engineer who will bring creativity and experience to bear as they work collaboratively with a talented team on these opportunities.

Highspot’s Infrastructure Platform crew works with other feature crews and DevOps to provide tools, frameworks, systems, and platforms to enable them to accomplish their goals faster and more efficiently. We aspire to improve the developer experience and drive forward looking initiatives related to platform design and architecture that have impact across teams and organizations at Highspot.

Our ideal candidate understands how to build scalable and reliable infrastructure and platforms; they are a skilled communicator and a “Tech Enthusiast” who enjoys working in an engineering-driven organization; they are self-managed, curious, and resourceful.

• Partner cross-functionally across all of Highspot’s feature engineering crews, as well as with DevOps/Site-Reliability
• Write maintainable and testable code
• Contribute to internal and external technical documentation
